Default Anybody running Firefox v28 under Windows 8?

Anybody running Firefox v28 under Windows 8? If so, does it run as a
Metro App? I have three Windows 8 machines.

Gateway M465 (no touch or pen support - no Metro FF)
Motion Computing LE1700 (just pen support - no Metro FF)
Dell Latitude ST (both pen and touch - Metro FF works)

And recently FF28 had another update and they changed the whole layout
and menus. And using FF28 as a Metro App is now called Touch. Ah... the
pieces are starting to fit together. It seems that FF Metro only runs as
a Metro App if you have a touch screen. Is this what others have
found too?

Yes that is what I keep telling myself. But it seems to me that Mozilla
is only going to support touch screens on the Metro side and it won't
work with pen or mice.
